What happened? I am seeing all the 2009 retrospectives, and I feel like everyone has forgotten their views on the subject matter. I got inFamous, because I'm a PS3 fanboy. I have never played Prototype, but pretty much all of the reviews at the time when the games came out said that both games were just as good as each other. Pretty much every outlet and video game reviewer said that both games are comparable, and no matter which one you get, you couldn't go wrong.
Now its half a year later, and everyone is doing those 2009 game of the year retrospectives... and it seems that EVERYBODY has forgotten what we thought about these two games 6 months ago. Suddenly everyone is saying that inFamous is one of the best games of the year, while Prototype is one of the worst. Even GameInformer put inFamous on their top games of the year, and Prototype on their top disappointments of the year. What happened? They are both single player games, so what has changed?
